Hi fencer, just wondering about this game, i am on NTL and cannot play this game, can you help me please :)

Subject: Re: Line5 games

passionfruit: I am afraid that NTL simply cannot display so "big" pages. I'll do a smaller version of this game later.

Subject: FAO Fencer - Define Tournament

Can You define a torney to be of just one game type? or will all games be included? And also, If if set one up and want to change it Can I do that before anyone signs up. Sorry to bother you, But I don't want to start something wrongly!

18. January 2003, 19:16:07

harley

Goonerg, I just tried it, all the games are included, and the only thing you can do is delete the whole tournament once its created. If you do one watch the BKR, its set quite high, it might need to be made lower so people can sign up!!
Its the same set-up as the tourney thats running now, it will just have your name at the top!

Subject: normal behaviour

I am playing Maharajah chess against one of the prominent players ont this site and invited him to play an other game with changed colours.
"Normal behaviour" according to the way i am brought up is accept or decline the invitation instead of ignore it. This player has played at least 10 moves in the other game, so he must have seen the invitation. Is this the way Czech people are raised?????????

Ian

Subject: Re: normal behaviour

Maybe a daft question but are u sure he understands English.? - Also If he accidentally clicked Ignore instead of add to Friends, would he still see your invite.???

Subject: Re: normal behaviour

also if they are not a member they might not have room for another game....

19. January 2003, 00:51:07

Subject: Re: normal behaviour

Ian, the is no "ignore button" just accept or decline.
Eddie, the player is a Brain Rook but also if he has not enough room for an other game he can decline the invitation!

19. January 2003, 00:58:13

Ian

Subject: Re: normal behaviour

Sorry i meant the Add to friends & Add to enemies options when loading your profile.:) - Looks like he speaks English, so that can't be why.! - I can't see him deliberatly ignoring u.:)

19. January 2003, 01:08:57

Subject: Re: normal behaviour

I also don't understand. If he don't answer in a few days i resign that other game. I don't wanna play such players and add him to my enemies

19. January 2003, 08:51:17

Subject: Re: FAO Fencer - Define Tournament

Goonerg: You can choose either all games or just one game. Does it work?

19. January 2003, 08:52:19

Oops, you are right! The "game type" field has disappeared. I'll fix it ASAP.

Subject: I thought backgammon board was fixed

sometimes a backgammon board is the correct position, the bearing off is to the right === but other boards are bearing off to the left, which is so confusing. will someone please explain if this is going to be something we have to get used to or if I missed the post, I am sorry, I would hope that all variants of backgammon would have the same set up.

Subject: Re: I thought backgammon board was fixed

I too thought that bearing off was to the right.

20. January 2003, 11:32:24

The current status is that white player has bearing off to the right and black to the left. More options will be added soon.

Czechgirl

Subject: Re: normal behaviour

Elma, Czechs are not raised to offend people.In the case of this man...I think he doesn't want to neither ignore you nor decline you...he wants to play with you as soon as he finish one of his games and then he can accept your invitation. This is what I think is going on. People do that sometimes to me...they kind of put me into waiting line...well, that's ok with me...if I do not want to wait...I just cancel invitation. Do not put him into your enemies, please...he is a good man...better...write him letter that it upsets you.I think he is not aware of you being offended right now.

As a token of gratitude, for all Fencer has done on this site to make it a great place to play & make new pals I thought now is a good time for us to start telling him on here on these boards.
So far a great job & can only get better in time.
Thanks Fencer.

Subject: A glitch?

Have tried a few times to invite a friend Raviloi ruby to a game. it starts to put me thru the invite and I click what game type, then when i click send it pops up to the list of game types.. so i try to invite her from there and click on list of pals ( which she is in ) but her name isnt listed... help! There is no way even if i try to invite her to a game from the message box of an old game can i send one out to her

22. January 2003, 02:54:10

Subject: Re: A glitch?

Just a thought Rose, sure that neither of you has accidentally added either as an enemy ? Can't think of any other reason ?

22. January 2003, 02:58:24

Rose

Subject: Re: A glitch?

no dont think.. cuz she sent me an invite just after I wrote this and I have her down as a friend but you know she just doesnt show up in my friend list.. i cant figure out why.. thanks for the thought tho.. cant hurt to double check.. but if she sent me a game id have to be on yer pal list correct?

If you have her as an enemy she can not send you an invite, but if she has you as an enemy by accident, she could still send you one (i think lol)

Subject: Re:

To Mikumon: O.K. I forgive you for this one time.
Maybe I am raised "old fashioned" but when I receive an invite I accept or I decline and give a reason why I am declining. For me that is normal behaviour

Subject: Re: normal behaviour

Fair points here, but Elma is right in my eyes, that when one invites, they should at least get a reason for the decline!

Subject: User Id's

Fencer, can you change the setting's so user's can have the same Id as another. I want to change my name, but somebody has it, and they have not returned to the site for 2 months.

24. January 2003, 09:29:24

Subject: Re: User Id's

Which user is it? I must check him first, I cannot change one's name anytime, it is not fair.
